The Applied Technology Council (ATC) mission is to imagine, develop, and promote the advancement of technologies to enhance societal resistance to natural and other hazards. ATC envisions a society prepared to face natural and other hazards, informed by engineering solutions. ATC is a nonprofit corporation established in 1973 through the efforts of the Structural Engineers Association of California. ATC is guided by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives appointed by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations, the Structural Engineers Association of California, the Structural Engineers Association of New York, the Western Council of Structural Engineers Associations, and four at-large representatives concerned with the practice of structural engineering. Each director serves a three-year term. Project management and administration are carried out by a full-time Executive Director and support staff. Project work is conducted by a wide range of highly qualified consulting professionals, thus incorporating the experience of many individuals from academia, research, and professional practice who would not be available from any single organization. Funding for ATC projects is obtained from government agencies and from the private sector in the form of tax-deductible contributions. The corporate headquarters for ATC is located in Redwood City, California, with a satellite office in Arlington, Virginia.

Founded in 1971, ENGEO has helped companies and public agencies manage their project development risk, drive down construction costs, and improve schedules. ENGEO is an employee-owned firm of approximately 350 geotechnical and civil engineers, geologists, hydrologists, water resources engineers and other specialists. The company serves a diverse range of public and private clients on very complex projects across the world. Design and retrofit of buildings in the urban cores of seismically vulnerable regions present a number of unique seismic, geotechnical, geologic, and constructability challenges. The engineers and semiologists at ENGEO developed precise methodologies for performing seismic hazard and site-response analyses for new structures and existing tall buildings. These approaches allow us to provide optimized earthquake engineering, typically resulting in much more efficient superstructure designs in seismically active urban environments. ENGEO provides earthquake engineering services, including ergodic and non-ergodic seismic-hazard analysis, site-response analysis, ground-motion studies, and soil-structure interaction evaluation to support performance-based design of high-rise buildings. ENGEO has offices in California, Nevada, Washington, Guam, New Zealand, and Australia and has been consistently recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in the Nation by Fortune and the Great Place to Work Institute, and as a Top Workplace in the Bay Area by San Francisco Business Times and Bay Area News Group. https://www.engeo.com/
